I like living.I have sometimes been wildly,despairingly, acutely miserable,racked with sorrow,but through it all I still know quite certainlythat just to be alive is a grand thing.~Agatha Christie~

For nothing is fixed, forever and forever and forever, it is not fixed; the earth is always shifting, the light is always changing, the sea does not cease to grind down rock. Generations do not cease to be born, and we are responsible to them because we are the only witnesses they have. The sea rises, the light fails, lovers cling to each other, and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold each other, the moment we break faith with one another, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out.~James Baldwin~

The greatest adventureis what lies ahead.Today and tomorrow are yet to be said.The chances, the changesare all yours to make.The mold of your lifeis in your hands to break.

— J.R.R. Tolkien(The Hobbit: Or There and Back Again

Adventure is a path. Real adventure -self-determined,

self-motivated, often risky-forces you to have firsthand

encounters with the world. The world is the way it is,

not the way you imagine it.

-Mark Jenkins
